Just took a blood test for Lyme Disease. I have been having unexplained joint pain in my legs and lack of energy. Have had several tick bites in the last several months. What does anyone know about this?
It might be a parasite infection. Look into parasite detoxes like black hull walnut, or fenbendazole, and the like.
Did you have a corona like redness around the bite area(s)?
She was misdiagnosed for some years by the time they figured it out it was in her CNS and there's little they can do then.
Definitely see a specialist.
It is hell.
1. My dear friend and client has it.
2. It took them many months do diagnose.
3. There are so many types.
4. We learned if you don’t have the tick you don’t know the type.
5. It can manifest as a mental disorder.
6. I told my kids never kill animals you won’t eat but today wasted two squirrels.
7. This is a mysterious and spooky disease.
8. I no longer hunt deer nor feel entirely safe in the woods.
9. The madness visited upon my pal I would not wish on anyone, though he made it
10. I am not a pot gut but some variant of THC seems to help him.
Stevia for Lyme disease? Can you share more?
A lot of insurance companies won’t cover it also...
My aunt had it....hell! If you don’t treat it early it can be permanent havoc on your health. Parasite infestation is part of the hell.
Parasites often come with lymes.
Im no help, but this reminds me I need to give the dogs heartworm pills and flea and tick goop.
Yep.
if Lyme, I think antibiotics early is the remedy....sometimes if not treated early enough, you can have problems later on with joint pain.
DO NOT FOOL AROUND WIYH LYME DISEASE. If you cant get a straight answer from your family doctor go to a specialist (infectious disease or rheumatologist). While it might not be bad for you it could easily be very serious and life altering.
The Disability!!
Dr. Gary Kaplan in McLean, Va is an outstanding physician, professor at Georgetown Medical School and author of a couple of books on the subject of neuroinflammation (e.g. Lyme disease). He has treated many, many patients with Lyme disease with great success. You might start by watching his video and maybe contact their office to see if they know of any specialist they can refer you too in your area ... or these days maybe schedule a telemedicine consult with him or one of the other docs in the practice. (I helped him pro bono set up a foundation to accelerate research and treatment in this field.) I hope this helps; it can be a rough illness.

I had gotten it about 13 years ago. Make a me severe heart arrhythmia. It actually caused me to pass out while I was driving on the highway. Luckily I came to and was able to pull over onto the shoulder before I passed out again. My heart rate went down very low. A few weeks of antibiotics and I was all cleared up. Scary stuff. I will tell you the antibiotics were very strong. Good luck.
You are so full of it I am shocked. A vaccine for spirocete bacteria? No such thing. Are you so freaking brainwashed for vaccines you will make up this lie to discredit your “screeching anti vaxers” strawman?
If vaccines are so safe go get them all, but kindly go slander yourself.
Get tested quickly; rapid treatment with antibiotics is key. Untreated Lyme Disease often causes permanent neurological problems.
I am praying for you!
Im praying you will find the right help.......and be restored to health!
5 years ago VA checked me for Lyme found out I pickedup Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
I was bitten by a tick in 1996 or 1997 & by the next morning, I had the ‘bullseye’ pattern on my back around the bite. Went to the doctor right then & they put me on antibiotics and did and electrocardiogram to get a ‘normal’ reading of my heart for later comparison. (THAT scared the heck out of me.) I did the antibiotic regimen & was told that I had started treatment on it so quickly, it was as if I never had it. But I know sometimes the bullseye doesn’t appear, so any time you get bitten by a tick follow up is probably a good idea.
